Buy a power plug (travel) adapter

We don't sell power plug adapters. We refer you to Amazon, where you will find a great selection of travel adapters.

You need to look for a power plug adapter for sockets type C and type E. Alternatively, choose a world travel adapter that fits multiple sockets, in case you travel more often. Because you need a voltage converter as well (see below), you might want to use a combined travel adapter/voltage converter.

Voltage converter needed on the Comoros?

The standard voltage on the Comoros (220 V) is much higher than the voltage level your devices typically operate at in Guatemala (120 V). Without a converter, you risk serious damage to your devices. Additionally, be aware that the frequency on the Comoros differs.

  • You need a voltage converter on the Comoros to protect your devices!
  • Try to find a voltage converter that can also change the frequency.

A voltage converter will ensure a safe input voltage level for your devices on the Comoros. You can find voltage converters at Amazon. Because you also need a power plug adapter, you might want a combined plug adapter/voltage converter.

Be warned if your converter cannot change the frequency. It is not advisable to use your devices. But if you do (at your own risk), exercise special caution with motorized devices and those containing electronic chips, such as clocks, shavers, and medical devices.

To be sure, check the label on your devices. Some devices never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the device can be used in every country in the world. This is common for devices with chargers like tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc. For these devices you will only need a power plug adapter.
